“I’ve been plagued by that, ‘Oh, she’s very mature’ thing, but I’m probably not quite as mature as all that, you know. I didn’t have a typical teenagehood so I have a lot of repressed rebellious teen left over. Every now and then I’ll act out in some unusual way."

“Fourteen is that wonderful time in your life when you feel such extremes of emotions, you can feel the most incredible elation. It’s when everything is still possible.”

“I never quite found my niche in school. I was terrified of the more common teenage experience. That’s part of the reason I loved escaping into ballet. The atmosphere wasn’t always so nice. It’s quite brutal. As beautiful as it looks, dancers are the most hardcore people I have ever met. They are so hardcore! Compared to ballet, being an actor seems cruise-y.” – Wasikowska for AnOther Magazine
